It reviews the political use of citizenship rhetoric over the past two decades and delves into the historical and theoretical aspects of citizenship and rights in Britain’s rural areas. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of acknowledging diverse voices and interests in decision-making processes that impact the countryside, advocating for a more inclusive approach to citizenship in these contexts.
